All registered and cant wait to begin!!

[Sean L]

Hello everyone! I am beginning my classes at NY college of Health Professions in just a couple of weeks. I am so excited. I have always wanted to be a massage therapist, but having 5 children has been keeping me busy, but now is the time and I have taken the leap. I will be going to classes 3 nights a week, tues., wed., and thursday nights, 5:30-10:30.

My husband is going to register for classes as well tomorrow, and he will be going part time saturdays 8:30-4:30, and possibly bumping up to full time, but he is not sure with work and all. It is so nice that we will be doing this together.

I was wondering if there are any husband and wife teams out there? and if you went to school together?

I look forward to meeting everyone, and going through this journey, that I have wanted for so long!

Any advice would be great as well.
:grin:
Thanks!

You sound so enthusiastic that I just wanted show you some support and to say I wish you much happiness on your journey! Being an MT is such a cool gig. I wish you and your husband much success!

There are a few other husband wife teams on here, maybe you'll hear from them. Seems like such a great way to be a couple!

Thank you for your response! I AM very excited, and I think having my husband doing it too will be great support.

Have a great day!

Good luck to you on this amazing journey. I remember the 12 years of set backs I had before becoming a MT, and now it just makes me smile because it seems like we all get into this at exactly the right time for us.

There is so much to learn, and so much will just come naturally! You have a great resource and lots of support here at MassagePlanetL too!

Hey everyone, I want to say thank you so much to everyone for the welcomes and warm wishes, I am so glad I found this forum. Tomorrow night is our orientation and I am getting a bit nervous. My first day of class is Sept. 2nd. ok so I am a more than a "bit" nervous...lol

pueppi- I am glad there are other husband/wife teams on here. I think it will be an ideal situation for us to work together, but I hope it will work out the way i am hoping...lol

Thanks again everyone!

Kelly and I met in massage school, and now we run a large practice together. We complement each other perfectly, and I couldn't imagine a more ideal partner. I hope you two find as much joy practicing together as we have.

goodmorning everyone!! well the first week of class is over....and im in love...lol I truely have enjoyed every minute of each class. I switched my hours so im taking classes tues- friday mornings and then A & P 1 saturdays 8:30-2:30 (my husband and I are taking that class together) I cannot remember the last time I was so happy and excited about something. It is just an amazing feeling to be doing something that I have wanted to do for so long. I have had homework and I already have 2 quizzes next week. I am taking myology, swedish technique 1, fundamentals of holistic health, intro to physical arts, and A & P 1. It is alot since they are each a seperate class but I just love it.

Thanks everyone for reading my gushing...lol :

Well, when I first started school my husband said "And if you make lots of money, I'll quit my job and go to school and do it too!" We're still waiting on the 'lots of money' lol. He was pretty naive about the money I'd be making and didn't understand that people who only go into massage to make 'lots' of money generally don't last long. He has since decided it's not for him, not the money but he's just not a massage kind of guy although he loves getting them. I love him but I don't think I'd want to work with him all day, every day!

Congrats to you both, I'm very happy for you! Enjoy the new world you both are entering!

I'm REALLY happy for y'all

Yep, we're a husband-and-wife team, too, and I'm the wife. Nope, we didn't go to massage therapy school together either. I went through first, and he went through a year later. Several years later, we're becoming doctors together (that we DID go through together LOL). Having gone through both ways (together and not together), I can say that there are advaneforum.xxxes and disadvaneforum.xxxes to both, but I can also say that I prefer to go through together. Most times we were dog tired and we had no one else to help us with things like meals, cleaning, laundry, and lawn care. Also, tuition adds up fast, and neither of us were able to work much while going through (aside from doing some massage on the side). But it's REALLY cool in that we each had a built-in study partner at home, we each had a lab partner at school, we both learned the same things at the same time which eliminated all possible ego issues or becoming distant from each other (which can happen if one person is going through something that the other is not), etc. Going through either type of school is a unique challenge, and very few people will be able to empathize 100% with you (i.e. your friends and the rest of your family), so it is cool that of all people in your life, your life partner IS. We DO know what's going on with each other and we can rant about issues or discuss something without having to explain the situation. Hopefully that made sense - I'm a little mentally fried lately.

You'll make it, no doubt. You sound like a down-to-earth person who knows what y'all want and it sounds like your life goals and path are parallel. Go get it
